0:13
fish pond, doctor.
0:14
Speaker 3: Yes, my boy's not a person out here for change.
0:18
Speaker 4: It never occurred to you, how stupid the expression of
0:21
a goldfish is.
0:23
Speaker 1: Well, I can't say I've ever given it my thought.
0:25
Speaker 3: Doctor.
0:26
Speaker 4: Why see this foolish little fellow here with his silly
0:28
little mouth opening and closing as though you were constant
0:31
fear astonished?
0:32
Speaker 1: What is this?
0:33
Speaker 3: I thought you were a fish lover.
0:35
Speaker 4: Yes I am, but I was brooding over tonight's story.
0:39
That goldfish seem to be making faces at me, as
0:41
though it was trying to remind me of how my
0:44
face must have looked on a certain June evening in
0:47
eighteen hundred and ninety.
0:49
Speaker 1: This sounds to me as if you're going to tell
0:50
a story against yourself.
0:51
Speaker 3: Doctor. I am young colume lad.
0:53
Speaker 4: What happened one Sunday morning in eighteen ninety I dropped
0:57
around to visit my friend in Baker Street. Missus Hudson

me a part of strong tea some buttered scones as
1:09
an inducement, And I walked into.

Speaker 3: Could I come with him?
1:30
Speaker 4: My wife's away enough, But my practice is quite flat
1:34
the moment.
1:34
Speaker 2: Not even my trusty old friend Watson can accompany me
1:36
on this case. It's a ticklish business. The fate of
1:39
two nations hangs in the balance, and his work alone.
1:41
Sorry to leave you like his holf alone.

6:53
I have not much strength to speak. I'm listening her graph.
6:56
You you must impersonate me. Yes, when I received your message,
7:01
I am in England and the most dedicate and important
7:05
mission for the German government is in a few weeks
7:09
your government and mine will conclude a treaty outlining the
7:13
German and British spheres of interest in Africa. I see
7:17
obviously that Palmer is strong this morning by someone who
7:19
does not wish the treaty to be concluded. Yeah, exactly,
7:23
hair Homes. That is why you must impersonate me. In
7:27
twenty four hours time, I shall be well enough to
7:30
resume my work. In the meanwhile, you can keep the
7:35
secret of my injuries and also have the opportunity of
7:39
finding the assassin. I' quite prepared to want to take
7:41
the impersonation, sir, butert, how can I possibly hope to
7:43
deceive the members of your personal staff. With the exception
7:46
of France here and poor Friuline Uhlmeyer, who was killed
7:50
in the explosion that insured me, my staff is new.
7:54
They have joined me here from the German consulate in London.
7:58
They will believe that you are me very well, so
8:01
I'll try it. I have heard of your skill in
8:03
the art of disguises, and also it seems to me
8:08
we are not so unlike each other. I was about
8:12
to comment on that fact myself, Sir. Yes, and I
8:14
think that the mustache from side whiskers will work. Wonders
8:16
if I can make the accent reasonably convincing, I will
8:19
court you, my friend. The spend it helped me off
8:21
with my coat. Will you fans get your towels in
8:23
my mirror, and while I'm applying my makeup haircraft. But
8:28
perhaps you will be so good as to give me
8:29
the complete circumstances regarding this morning's attempt on your life.
8:34
If I am to impersonate you successfully, I must have
8:36
all the facts of my fingertips.
8:49
Speaker 3: He Wunderball.
8:51
Speaker 9: It is amazing at Homes even I can hardly tell
8:55
you for my masters.
8:56
Speaker 2: I think it's the wig that puts the finish, finishing
8:57
touch to my disguise. How to look for you, AGraf Colossal.
9:02
I feel as if I were looking into a mirror
9:05
and my excellent you will find it reasonably convincing. Oh yeah, yeah,
9:09
extremely so try it once again, hair Homes, Yeah, hair graph.
9:15
It gives me the greatest pleasure to do what you
9:17
ask of me.
9:19
Speaker 3: They splendid their own splendi.
9:22
Speaker 9: A cabin thrown up at the gate. Two men are
9:24
getting out.
9:25
Speaker 3: You can see them from the window here.
9:27
Speaker 2: The police possibly are Great Scott's friends of yours, hair Homes.
9:34
One of them is my close colleague and the other
9:36
is a detective inspector from Scotland. Are you must keep
9:39
up the deception even with your friends. As a matter
9:43
of fact, my friend's investigations will prove an excellent mask
9:46
for my own search for the assassin. But well, this
9:49
is a delicious situation. I hope they won't recognize me.
10:03
I am graf Otto von Hildenstein. Gentlemen, you wish to
10:07
see me, you do so.
10:08
Speaker 4: My name is Watson, doctor Watson, and this is inspect
10:11
The star has got in.
10:12
Speaker 2: The inspector, Doctor Watson. May I ask if I have
10:17
the great distinction of addressing d Doctor Watson, friend.
10:20
Speaker 3: Of Sherlock Holmes, that you know me, her Guff, But who.
10:25
Speaker 2: Does not know the great doctor Watson. In my country,
10:28
many people think that you are the real brains of
10:30
the combination. And tell me, her doctor, is that true?
10:36
You have both come here to investigate what occurred this morning?
10:39
Speaker 7: Yes, we have.

Speaker 2: Sit down if you can find any furniture that is unbroken.
10:45

11:01
to get some necessary papers. As I came down the
11:03
staircase into returns. Here I heard, I screamed from Folene Ulmayer.
11:08
A moment later there was the most frightful explosion. The
11:11
concussion stunt me. When I came to my poor secretary
11:14
was dead.
11:15
Speaker 7: What people were inside the ass at the time of
11:18
the explosion?
11:18
Speaker 2: The seventh fair all at the church. The only people
11:21
here was my secretary who was killed, my seven friends.
11:24
I can vouch for him because he was upstairs when
11:26
I went for my documents. There were three other people
11:29
in the house, however, Madame Lisa Barona, my hostess, and
11:32
the owner of this house, a young englishman from the
11:35
Home Office. His name is Hilary Adams. And the third
11:37
person in the house was a member of the German
11:40
Embassy College figer Oh.
11:41
Speaker 4: Then it's just a matter of cross questioning the three
11:43
of them as to their alibis at the time of
11:45
the explosion. I've taken one at a time to start
11:48
ring for that servant fellow what was his name?

13:39
when the explosion happened.
13:41
Speaker 2: Dear me, he doctor, your examin nation has not been
13:44
very successful, has it. Everyone has an alibi.
13:48
Speaker 4: Yes, but the alibi is of Madame Verona and the
13:51
young englishman who Adams depend on each other's words.
13:55
Speaker 3: They might be lying.
13:56
Speaker 4: When you've been dealing with criminals. As long as I haveograph,

14:10
the day is over.
14:22
Speaker 7: Ah well, much obliged to you, doctor for a very
14:27
nice meal. Although we've been talking in circle, not entirely anyway.
14:33
Speaker 3: I have come to one important decision.
14:36
Speaker 8: And what's that doctor.
14:37
Speaker 4: Madame Verona is addicted to the use of drugs. The
14:40
pupils of her eyes were contracted to pinpoints. It's an
14:44
invariable indication of drug addiction. The Strada, you got a
14:47
stock in the yard and see what you can find
14:49
out about her, and I'll go back.
14:51
Speaker 3: To my house. You can meet me there later.
15:16
Speaker 4: I wish Mayor wasn't away the cook side out confronted,
15:20
I can't see a thing.
15:21
Speaker 3: I'll strike a match that's better. Hello, who's that in
15:30
the drawing room?
15:32
Speaker 8: Who is it?
15:33
Speaker 3: Watson?
15:35
Speaker 4: I thought you would never come homes when earth ke
15:37
spring prom Never.
15:38
Speaker 2: Mind that, old Chap. I've come to warn you keep
15:41
out of the von Hilton's dying business. If you value
15:43
your life, well, how did you know that? I was
15:44
working on the can And I'm to tell you now,
15:45
but I'm for you keep out of it. There are
15:48
dangerous forces at work, Horsester, but snap out your life
15:51
without a thought. Please believe me, old Chap.
15:53
Speaker 8: And he was quick, Watson?
15:54
Speaker 2: How did I do?
16:07
Speaker 1: You'll hear the rest of doctor Watson's story in just
16:09
a few seconds. All the time, I need to remind
16:12
you that, what with this being National Wine Week, if
16:15
you want to take a gift to a young lady,
16:17
why not take her a bottle of Petree California muscatel.
16:21
Petrie muscatel is the kind of wine you'd serve a queen.
16:24
That Petrie Muscatel has the flavor of plump sun ripe
16:27
and muscat grapes, and is it ever good? You couldn't
16:31
ask for a more delicious after dinner wine, or a
16:34
more delicious wine to serve when company comes. Remember it's muscatell,
16:38
But the important thing is it's Petrie Petree muscatell. And
16:51
now back to Doctor Watson and tonight's adventure the Manor
16:54
House case. That was a fine place to break off
16:56
your story, doctor, I must say you and as much
17:00
suspense as possible for what happened next? Were you and
17:03
Holmes injured when that bomb exploded?
17:04
Speaker 4: No, no, my boy, The concussion of the explosion knocked
17:07
me out for a few minutes.
17:08
Speaker 3: When I came to Holmes had disappeared.
17:11
Speaker 2: And I can imagine where he gone go on dock.
17:14
Speaker 4: Soon after that Mustart arrived on the scene, and after
17:16
quick and fruitless examination of the premises, we decided to
17:19
return once more to the manor house. And so an
17:23
hour later I was telling my story to the man
17:26
I still thought to be the graph Otto von Helden stuff.
17:30
Speaker 2: But this is grateful hairtop that the bomb might easily
17:33
have killed you, who I was ready for it so
17:35
quick thinking in presence of mind of my stock in trade.
17:37
Speaker 3: You know, when I heard the glass crash, I find
17:40
myself under the dining room table.
17:42
Speaker 2: I most distress that you yourself should be exposed to
17:45
such day.
17:45
Speaker 4: John the tall her graph. As a matter of fact,
17:48
I exposed myself deliberately to the tech. It's an old
17:50
arm trick, you know what we call drawing the enemy's
17:53
far Come.
17:54
Speaker 7: Now, you don't mean to tell us that you expected
17:57
to have that bomb checked through the window at you.
18:00
Speaker 4: Also, I did a star. The assassin knew that I
18:02
was in working on the case. He followed me to
18:04
London and fell into the trap just as I intended.
18:07
Speaker 3: Him to by you showing his hand.
18:09
Speaker 2: I don't see what he's got your doctor, I myself
18:12
must admit, I cannot see that you are any nearer
18:15
to finding the murderer on the country.
18:16
Speaker 3: So the case is nearly solved.
18:18
Speaker 8: I don't see how you figured that one out, Doctor.
18:21
Speaker 4: Element Illstard Elementary, one of the three people under suspicion,
18:25
followed me to my house tonight. The second bomb was
18:28
thrown at approximately seven o'clock. Now it's only a question
18:32
of finding which one of the three cannot account for
18:34
his movements at that time.
18:37
Speaker 3: Then we shall know the murderer.
18:39
Speaker 7: You want to cross examine the McGain, Doctor.
18:41
Speaker 4: Yes to start, bring him in. Please one at attire Treschwaiger,
18:53
Where were you at seven o'clock.
18:55
Speaker 1: Tonight discussing the military tactics of closets with mister Carter
18:59
the Home Office?
19:00
Speaker 3: It's because were you doing at o'clock this morning too?
19:03
Speaker 1: It would take many days of discussion for two students
19:05
to appreciate all the subtleties.
19:07
Speaker 4: Of class with I'll check on that again, doctor, Thank you,
19:10
and please ask Madam Verona to come in.
19:12
Speaker 3: Will you question?
19:16
Speaker 9: Question?
19:16
Speaker 6: And still more questions there about that seven tonight you
19:19
asked me. I was listening to more bubblings from that
19:22
stupid young englishman asking for yourself.
19:27
Speaker 4: Mister Adams, where were you at seven tonight with Madame
19:30
Verona and Budoir?
19:31
Speaker 2: There is a curious sameness about the pattern of life
19:34
in this house. Is they're not hair? Doctor?
19:43
Speaker 7: I checked on Colonel Schweiger's statement. It was true he
19:47
was talking the car at seven o'clock, all right, and
19:50
well could the other two account for themselves?
19:52
Speaker 3: Doctor? Once again? They alibi for each other.
19:54
Speaker 2: But this time, I begin to doubt the more white
19:57
white you say that hair, Doctor, I.
19:58
Speaker 4: Would accept Madam Corona's alibi for young Adams. Obviously she
20:02
loads the boy and wouldn't pursure herself for him. On
20:04
the other hand, he worships her, and I'm certain that
20:07
he wouldn't have any scruples about lying to provide an.
20:10
Speaker 3: Alibi for her.
20:11
Speaker 8: You got a point there, doctor.
20:13
Speaker 4: Yes, Regatta with great suspicion. Yeah, come in, Uh yes,
20:20
mister Adams.
20:21
Speaker 2: Doc Watson, I've been worrying about Madam Verona.
20:23
Speaker 1: I was afraid you wouldn't believe my alibi for her. Indeed,
20:26
I have another, an unbiased witness, who can testify that
20:29
Madame Verona was in.
20:30
Speaker 3: This house at seven tonight. Come in, France, ye have
20:33
all dating your hair. France. Did you see Madam Verona
20:36
at seven tonight?
20:37
Speaker 9: Yeah, I take up two glasses of shering to her.
20:41
It was a few minutes before seven.
20:43
Speaker 4: Thank you answer, Thank you, mister Adams. I appreciate your concern.
20:47
Speaker 3: You muld go.
20:48
Speaker 8: He seems to me we're still traveling in circles.
20:51
Speaker 3: Doctor, from the country, my dearest child. The case of song.
20:54
Speaker 2: Indeed, you astonish me. He doctor, who is the guilty party?
20:57
Speaker 4: You will know in a minute, Sir a child, bring
20:59
the free suspects, and please, when they are assembled, I
21:02
will give you the solution to the mystery. Ladies and gentlemen,
21:17
my mystery is solved, and I mist apologize for her
21:20
little convenience inconvenience with you've a gone. You, Madame Baroner,
21:24
you coonl Schweiger, and you, mister Adams have all unshakable alibis.
21:29
Speaker 3: Therefore the solutions obvious.
21:31
Speaker 4: As my dear friend Slack Holmes is often said, eliminate
21:34
the impossible, and whatever remains, no matter how improbable, is
21:38
the truth.
21:39
Speaker 3: Therefore, the only person that could have thrown both bombs
21:44
is you.
21:44
Speaker 4: Yourself, yourself, graf Atto von Heldenstein.
21:49
Speaker 8: Sure I believe you're right, doctor.
21:51
Speaker 2: What have you got to say to yourself that I, too,
21:53
hair doctor, have an unshakable alibi?
21:56
Speaker 5: Oh?
21:56
Speaker 3: What is it?
21:57
Speaker 2: I've asked it, you, hair doctor? When the second bomb was.
21:59
Speaker 3: Thrown, I want to know if you're talking about I
22:01
was alone.
22:01
Speaker 2: Come now, old fellow, that's not true.
22:04
Speaker 3: Holmes, how could your.
22:07
Speaker 8: Mister will strike me?
22:10
Speaker 2: Don't be angry with.
22:11
Speaker 3: Me, Chap.
22:11
Speaker 7: You've got the real solution of the case.
22:16
Speaker 3: As usual, mister, I might.
22:20
Speaker 2: As well show me upper rating yourself. You really handled
22:23
the case very well. You made only one mistake. May
22:26
I revise that dictum of mine which you just quoted.
22:29
Eliminate the possible, and then if nothing remains, some part
22:33
of the impossible must be possible. Colonel Schmicker's alibi was valid,
22:39
so it was Madam Verona's since it was corroborated by
22:41
the trusty Francs. But what does your alibi rest on,
22:44
mister Adams.
22:44
Speaker 8: Madame Rohners told you I was here at seven, Yes,
22:46
but not.
22:47
Speaker 2: A Verona is addicted to the use of drugs. I'm
22:49
sure that you spotted that back, Watson, Yes, I did.
22:52
Your mistake, Old Chap was in not drawing the correct conclusion,
22:56
mister Adams. Alibi depends on the unsupported word of a
22:59
drug addict. Now, the use of drugs notoriously destroys, first
23:02
of all, the sense of time. Any tricks such as
23:05
the resetting of trucks could be worked on her without
23:07
her noticing her word on a time alibi as completely valued.
23:10
Speaker 3: When Adams is the man who's metters, I don't he's
23:15
a murderer and a traitor.
23:30
Speaker 2: Well, now that we're back in Baker Street, Watson, I
23:32
may as well tell you that I had my suspicions
23:34
of Adams from the first. Well, my brother Micraft had
23:38
told me that he was suspected of being a traitor
23:39
at heart, he's been under observation for some years. He
23:42
was purposely given this assignment as a definite test of
23:45
his integrity.
23:46
Speaker 4: Well, I understand it all now, Holmes, is the same
23:49
I did make it, ask for myself in front of
23:52
a straw.
23:52
Speaker 2: Don't worry about it, old Chap, Please don't worry you.
23:55
You always can correct that impression. You know yours will
23:59
be the last word you. Well, when you come to
24:01
write this story and your memoirs, my dear fellow, you
24:03
can always do a little what you say re.
24:06
Speaker 3: Editing of your own part.
24:07
Speaker 2: Posterity never need no
